[Coco] CM3,MAX,BAS formats

[Arthur Flexser]

Each Basic program line consists of a 2-byte pointer to the start of
the following line, a 2-byte representation of the line number
(MSB,LSB), and the tokenized line content, with each Basic keyword
replaced by a one-byte token.  (Function keywords are two bytes,
starting with $FF.)  The end of the program has two zero bytes instead
of a pointer to the next line.  The Unravelled series has a list of
the tokens, if you need those.
